Chapter 40: Guess what Xianglin wants to say to Wang Yu
"Hello, Mr. Rinnosuke. β
The silver-haired maid pushed open the inferior wooden door and greeted the familiar middle-aged half-demon inside.
"Oh, it's Miss Sakiya. Didn't you just come here yesterday?"
The head, which is more silvery than Sakiya's hair, reluctantly lifts up from the PSP, pushes the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and asks suspiciously.
"What?
Sixteen Nights Sakuya, who is familiar with the half-demon store manager, made a rare joke.,For this weak.,But dare to stick to his beliefs.,The perfect and chic servant is actually very admired.γ
"Why, no one will have trouble with money, please sit down. So, what do you want to buy today?"
Putting down the game console in his hand, a slight smile bloomed on Mori Kinrinnosuke's cold face.
Recently, Marisa's gossip furnace was upgraded again, and it was good to spend a lot of savings, so it's nice to have some money.
"Actually, it's not about buying anything, it's a friend of mine who wants to ask you something. Of course, there will be a payment. β
The perfect and dashing servant carried a strange package in his hand, carefully maintaining its balance as he sat down. Although this made the half-demon store manager very strange, he didn't ask.
Keep your curiosity under control - this is one of the countless valuable lessons Mori has learned during his long career as a half-demon.
"Well, it's good to exchange money, nothing else. Where's your friend? Where is it, why didn't you see it?"
"Ah...... Wait a minute, manager, could you please close the curtains first?"
After a moment's hesitation, the head maid made a strange request.
"Absolutely. β
Mori got up without hesitation and closed the unadorned curtains, not scrupling about the possibility of Sixteen Nights Sakuya being unfavorable to him.
Not to mention that he thinks that a little half-demon living in the cracks is not worth the help of others, even the woman behind him is not easy to mess with in Gensokyo now.
"Alright, call that friend of yours out. β
Sitting back in his chair, Mori looked at the head maid with some expectation.
How could it have appeared? Could it be a summoned shadow creature that was afraid of sunlight, or something else?
The head maid carefully confirmed that no sunlight was shining through, nodded, and opened the package in her hand layer by layer, revealing a cocoon-like object wrapped in black silk threads.
Gently shaking the black cocoon in his hand, Sixteen Night Sakuya spoke
"Wake up, Wang Yu, it's time to get there. β
"Hmm...... Let me sleep for another five minutes......"
The black cocoon-like thing emitted a muffled, muffled male voice that made Rinnosuke Mori even more curious.
What is this?
"Wang Hao, it's time to Xianglin Hall, didn't you say that you want to ask the store manager for something?"
The perfect maid was not in a hurry, but gently persuaded.
"Xianglintang? where is that...... Wait, Xianglintang?!"
The black threads that were wrapped in a ball suddenly spread out, revealing the pale face hidden beneath it. The young man's pitch-black pupils suddenly turned red, and he stared at Mori Kinrinnosuke.
Scarlet threads stretched out from the broken neck, weaving into a strange suit of armor-like costumes and a European longsword. The armour, which had nothing inside, supported the hilt of the sword, and Wang Yu's gaze was sacred and serious, with a majestic majesty in it.
"I ask you, are you the manager here?" (I ask you, are you my master?)
Mori Rinnosuke pushed his glasses indifferently, and the white light reflected by the lenses flashed, which actually made the perfect maid have a trace of palpitations.
This...... With this huge momentum, is he really the half-demon store manager who has no power?
"No, I am the kingβthe king of illusions!" (No, I am the skyβthe heaven of the pot!)
The silver-haired half-demon spread her hands as if embracing the world. Mori Jinnosuke, who had always been gentle to people, laughed wildly, and looked at Wang Yu with undisguised heat.
"I don't do it. β
The black-haired young man said indifferently, breaking Mori Kinnosuke's ever-high momentum, and instantly turned back into the gentle and harmless elder.
"Ahem...... Really, don't knock me back from that state, I finally have a ...... of the same kind."
The half-demon store manager smiled helplessly and shook his head.
"If it's about the explosion of Zhonger's aura, then forget it, I've already returned to reality. β
The scarlet thread was withdrawn, and the boy's fallen head was accurately caught by the perfect maid and placed squarely on her lap.
"It's a pity. If you have any questions, just ask, for the sake of the same kind of people, I'll ......."
"Charge less?"
The silver-haired half-demon rolled his eyes, "Think beautifully, tell the truth." β
"Cut, stingy. β
The lonely head pursed his lips, and his face became extremely solemn, which made Mori Konnosuke's previous relaxed state of mind converge.
"Mr. Morikin, this question may be a bit of a breach of your privacy, but I hope you can answer me. β
Hiding his eyes behind the lenses so that he couldn't see his eyes clearly, Mori asked indifferently
"Is this a request?"
"No, it's a plea. β
The young man, who would only whisper for the sake of one person, said sincerely, causing the half-demon store manager's eyebrows to raise slightly.
"Xianglintang's goods...... Where did it come from?"
ββ¦β¦ That's all you want to ask?"
Mori Rinnosuke's face turned strange, and he asked in a strange tone.
"Yes, I know this has touched on the very root of your life, but please tell me. β
Discovering the store manager's abnormality, the boy gritted his teeth and said again.
"Okay, okay, it's not an important thing in the first place, and the tone is so solemn, I thought it was something important. β
Mori waved his hand amusedly, but it didn't ease the boy's face.
"Please tell me. β
Wang Yu just repeated.
"Well, my goods, actually...... It's all picked up. β
"Huh?"
The unexpected answer made Wang Yu fall into a stupor, and the next words of the half-demon store manager made the young man's heart flood with hope again.
"Well, I picked it up, but if I look for it at the root, I guess the monster sage got it. β
"Youkai Sage, Yakumo Purple...... Thanks, I see. β
Wang Yu groaned and nodded, but almost fell off Sixteen Nightsakiya's lap and was quickly and gracefully embraced by the perfect maid chief.
"Wang Yu, be careful, you don't have a body right now. β
Sixteen Nights Sakuya spoke indifferently, but showed a concern that was diametrically opposed to his tone, making the half-demon store manager's gaze at the two of them ambiguous.
"Oh, got it. Sakiya, give two-thirds of my previous salary to the manager of Morikin, I won't need it anyway. β
After a casual perfunctory past, Wang Yu was ready to leave here.
ββ¦β¦ Good. β
I was a little surprised by the price of the remuneration given by the boy, but after thinking about what this news was about, Sixteen Nights Sakuya was also relieved. She took a thick stack of coins from her coat pocket and placed it on Rinnosuke Mori's desk.
"So many? worthy of the Red Devil Pavilion. β
Frightened by the exaggerated number of coins, a look of surprise appeared on Mori Rinnosuke's indifferent face.
"In that case, then I can't be too stingy, can I?" Miss Sakuya, I want to talk to this Mr. Wang Yu alone about the next thing, okay?"
